    Hey guys. I replaced the motherboard on my p105-9312 earlier tonight and it's working great so far. However, now i can't seem to change brightness of the screen w/ the Fn+F6/F7 keys and it's stuck on what appears to be the lowest brightness setting. Is there something i need to download to gain back control of the brightness controls? Btw, other Fn combinations work fine.

    edit: I'm running XP

    Which OS are you using? In windows XP some of my P105's fn combos.
    FN + Esc = MUTE
    FN + F6 = Bright. Low
    FN + F7 = Bright. High
    FN + F9 = Enable/Disable Touchpad

    That's about it. In Vista all the FN combinations work. A suggestion of mine is to install Toshiba's Value Package, i believe it has Toshiba Flashcards which give you more control on what your FN buttons do. I'm sure you can download it on your laptop's support page.
